Forum: A 'racial loyalist,' not a white supremacist

I noticed with some disappointment that the Journal Star yet again labeled me a "white supremacist" when it printed my letter to the editor. This is a label that I have rejected for over 20 years. I would like to explain why it is grossly inaccurate.

As the label would imply, a "white supremacist" believes that the white race should reign supreme over the other races. The problem is that I do not believe this at all. I do not want the white race to rule over other races, to control them, or to oppress them in any way. The mere fact that I care about my own race does not justify calling me a "white supremacist." If it does, every advocate for the black race — such as Jesse Jackson — should rightly be called a "black supremacist." That never seems to happen in the press.

It is far more accurate and fair to call me a "white separatist" because I indeed do believe that white people should live separate from the other races, since that is in our own best interests as a people. Many people of every race would agree with me that each race should have a land of its own so that its culture, genes and lives may be preserved.

Better still, I should be called what I call myself — a racial loyalist — since I am simply loyal to my own race before any and all other loyalties. That I am loyal to my own people should not be objectionable.
